their bill clinton and the republican party? i thought marco rubio did a pretty good job. but here, bill clinton disaggregated some complicated issues, simplified them, delivered them into the living room of every voter and had an intelligent conversation. that is what voters want. they want a sincere, intelligent conversation. no bs, no fluff, no hyperbole. just give me the scoop and tell me where you think you can take us. and that is where i think there is an opportunity still in the weeks remaining. and i believe that governor romney has that capacity to deliver that kind of level of sincerity and direction. >> i want to quickly address that. the republicans had a candidate doing that in the primary. unfortunately candidate was addressing the general primary electorate. that's different. but if you look at the ad for governor romney's problems, think it goes back to numbers. the first was brought up today at 50.1% in the sense that he's trying to do what is necessary to get elected. so there is some of that lack of sincerity
